The book examines the fascinating world of Soviet cinema during the years of glasnost and perestroika-the 1980s. It shows how the reforms that shook the foundations of the Bolshevik state and affected economic and social structures have been reflected in the film industry. A new added chapter provides a commentary on the dramatic changes that marked the beginning of democracy in Russia. This book will be widely read by students and specialists of Soviet\/Russian history, culture and society, and film studies, as well as by anyone with an interest in the transformations of Russian society. \"What makes Kinoglasnost pre-eminent among current studies of the subject is the sustained attention Lawton pays to changes in the formal organization of Soviet cinema and in the cinema industry.\" - Julian Graffy, Sight and Sound, vol. 3 (July 1993) \"Lawton's book now stands as a valuable work of history on one aspect of a collapsed system...This remains as a testimony of a fateful moment that has changed the course of history.\" - Louis Menashe, The Russian Review, vol.53, No.4 (October 1994). \"The author constructs a complex, multilayered narrative of a steady and significant movement toward radical change in Soviet society, an account of the growing anxiety and the hope experienced by Russian filmmakers and the intelligentsia.\" - Ludmila Z. Pruner, Slavic and East European Journal, vol.38, No.4 (Winter 1994).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Lawton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0974493406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780974493404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Academia Publishing\/ The Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Anna Lawton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489229820159,"sku":"9780974493404","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_487c4c99-da61-485d-abc6-2bb2b4a91b10.jpg?v=1736952954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/before-the-fall-anna-lawton-9780974493404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
